HP Console Switch J1474A question

[Vincent Boer]

My company has a console switch, a J1474A, now it have been in use for the last years without any trouble.
But now comes the day we added a new server.
The IT manager that was in charge back then is no longer working for us. Ans now we do not know the admin account password.
Now I assume there must be a way to reset the passwords in this device.
I can not find it on the website. Can anyone help me out to explain how to do this?

Hi I'm not certain that you can get to that link so here is another for the device which will point you to a firmware upgrade. That may well take out the password

Thanks for the info, but the documentation states I have to call te service desk (wich I did but since its no longer in a contract or garanty they cant help unless i pay big)
and to upgrade the firmware I have to be in a certain mode ro recieve it that you can only do by entering the admin mode :(
I am in a lock down
